Heparin Deaths vs. Rat Vomit, Which is Worse?

Ugh. I don’t which is worse.

Pfizer has a commercial warning consumers not to buy drugs from websites because the ingredients are unknown. Scary? Yes.

But what about real mega-million deep-pockets pharmaceutical companies whose main ingredients come from China and other non-English speaking countries and they still don’t know what or how these main ingredients are made?

This is not fiction. Heparin, the blood thinner, was made from adulterated heparin produced in unregulated Chinese factories.

So far 103 victims have died from the heparin crisis and Baxter is being sued for consumer fraud.

Maybe vomiting up a rat isn’t so bad if you’re still standing when it’s over?

The FDA cannot even regulate Georgia made peanut butter. How can they regulate China?
